What is the upload speed of your ADSL line? ...and the leased line is symmetric, right; i.e. 256kbit down and 256kbit up? > What kernel is the most appropriate for this job? Having used both 2.4.x and 2.6.x on a very busy router doing that sort of thing, I would say that they are equal for the task in terms of stability. Other people's opinions will vary. :) Most new development is for 2.6 these days, so I'd say go with 2.6. > By reading the howto I found one example that's clearly what I have: > http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html > Since you have two very dissimilar lines, I would tentatively recommend routing traffic based upon your users' needs for bandwidth and latency. Without knowing what kind of users you have I can't recommend anything, but I can loosely describe a setup I used to administrate. ADSL line: 6000kbit down, 600kbit up - local web browsing/downloads - local streaming video viewing SDSL line: 1300kbit up, 1300kbit down * high priority, low bandwidth queue - internet games * medium priority, high bandwidth queue - incoming connections to our servers - ssh - email * low priority, any-remaining bandwidth queue - p2p traffic - unrecognized traffic * lowest priority, almost no bandwidth queue - bofh :-) Your setup is different and your users probably have different usage patterns, but there's a lot of flexibility in this general approach. If you provide more details I may be able to help further. -Corey _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
